MATANGI MUDRA
(Matangi Mudra basically serves as an effective practice to digestion and nourishes the circulatory and lymphatic system in the lower body.)

Matangi is one of the Mahavidyas, ten Ta***ic goddesses, she is a form of Parvati as all the Mahavidyas are. She is also considered to be the Ta***ic form of Sarasvati, the goddess of music and learning. Like Sarasvati, Matangi governs speech, music, knowledge and the arts. Her worship is prescribed to acquire supernatural powers, especially gaining control over enemies, attracting people to oneself, acquiring mastery over the arts and gaining supreme knowledge.

Matangi Mudra opens and balances Manipura Chakra, this connection with Manipura Chakra at the navel centre encourages the ability to fully digest and assimilate life experience, leaving the path clear for us to move forward with ease and confidence. Matangi Mudrā directly affects the hypothalamus, the hypothalamus is the primary autonomous part of the nervous system; This mudra helps to establish a state of balance in the body.

SHANKH MUDRA (for throat, voice, stammering and height)

In Sanskrit Shankha means Conch. Sound of the conch is similar to the sound of ‘OM’. It is believed that blowing the Conch could send sound waves (vibration) far and wide thereby removing ill effects of negative elements. This Mudra is used while worshiping or while chanting hymns and Mantras.

How to do Shankha Mudra:
Sit down in the Padma Asana or Lotus Pose. Keep your back straight and calm your breath. Place the thumb of the left hand at the base of the right hand. Close your eyes and visualise that you are sitting amidst a blue sea of calm water.
Now raise both your arms in front of your chest. Wrap all four fingers of your right hand around your left thumb. Bring the tips of your right thumb and left middle finger together. The other fingers off your left hand should be parallel to the middle finger. Your hands will form a shape like a conch shell, which is where the Shankh Mudra gets its name from (refer the image). Hold this Mudra in front off your sternum. Chanting Om (Aum) while practicing this Mudra further increases its benefits. It rejuvenates full body as it purifies 72000 Nadis (nerves).

Effect:
The thumb which represents the fire element and is covered by the fingers hence fire is subdued. The union of the left index finger and the thumb creates balance of wind.

We all are looking for healthy, happy and balanced life, but somehow we have failed to understand stress which is disturbing our personal and professional life. Meditation is a simple solution to bring back our happiness at work and at home. Meditation gives us strength to see stress 'AS IS' and pull ourselves out of it. It gives strength and power to think differently when you are detachment from situation. Will share six points to handle stress :

1. Don't take things so personally: Part of what creates stress is thinking that what other people think and do is something that is being done to us, or is a reflection of us or our past karmas.

2. Change your expectations: If you expect a co-worker or family member to always be nice and they continue to be cranky, you'll be disappointed. You are choosing to be disappointed when you expect others to do something even when you have evidence to suggest that the behaviour is highly unlikely.

3. Express your needs: Deciding to take responsibility for meeting your own needs is liberating. Without this decision, you lose time and energy waiting for others to figure out what you need and how, expecting them to deliver. It's up to you to get your own needs met and no one will know what they are better than you.

4. Don't make assumptions: Often we make assumptions about what others are thinking. Catch your assumptions before they become beliefs. Catch them before you take action on something you've assumed, but not verified. You'll be better off learning you were wrong than fixing the wrong action you took as a result of your assumption.

5. Face your feelings: A favourite workplace mantra is "check your emotions at the door." The problem it creates are many, never open the door to face their emotions even when they get home. Feelings that are stuffed create a ticking time bomb of emotions likely to come out at the most inappropriate moment.

6. Use restraint: If you respond to a other's rude comment with a defensive attitude, you'll escalate the stress of the situation for both of you. Try to use restraint in your response to difficult people.

Always remember that, you can't control the actions of others, but by staying Meditative/aware, you can keep your cool, you avoid contributing to continued stressful conversations. It takes two to argue and if you're not the one who starts it and you stay responsible to finish it, you'll likely have much less of it to experience. Remove your part in what creates stressful situations and those who have stress to share will have to go elsewhere. Simply stay aware (meditative) to detach the stress. If you are aware, your stress will help you to grow and will never effect you physically, mentally or emotionally. ~ Sri Satishji

Inside First. Stay Aware. Stay Blessed.
